a few of my friends have done the same thing with their wheels with that cheapo engine paint, so this whole process is gonna end up casting me about 20 bucks, plus ill probably appreciate them alot more knowing that i did the work on them and i made them look as nice as they hopefully turn out

Great to hear, I was never a fan of white wheels (sorry guys with White Wheels)

But what's with this latest trend of SPRAY painting your wheels...

It's not a good idea...

I agree on the spray painting not being such a good idea part....hence the keyword to your statement
